a longer period we've seen moderate progress that's consistent with modest growth in the u.s. and the modest growth in the u.s. in excess of the growth rate in almost the entire advanced world. it's very tough period in the world economy. but it's making some slow progress. i do think it's fairly interesting to compare if the unemployment rate today is the same as it was when the president took office, remember what that was, it was horrible. a rate of 7.8% but shooting upward by large amounts every month. so i think it's pretty different comparing the past year to that year. >> and 700,000 jobs or so were being lost every month in that period leading up to his inauguration. that was a really rough time as a lot of us will remember. now, you saw the statement that mitt romney released reacting to these latest jobs numbers. this is not what a real recovery looks like. we've lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since president obama took office. would you call this a real recovery? or do you think he's onto something over here? >> i mean, we're clearly recovering. i mean, since
